Let’s learn with a case study!
You’ve spent hours developing your network on LinkedIn. Chances are that the people you are connected with on LinkedIn know about you and your business, or have similar interests. They are first-choice prospects who should be contacted in a very customized way.
LinkedIn InMails don’t get many answers and you’d like to add them to your emailing list.
But you have a few challenges…
Sit back and relax, with the Spylead Chrome extension you just need a few clicks to:
That’s all you need to set up a super-targeted emailing campaign with Spylead.
The big plus with Spylead is that the scraping will run in the background, so you can do several bulks at the same time and leave the LinkedIn tab while your data is loading!
And before you ask, no there are 0 risks to getting your account restricted by LinkedIn if you use Spylead.
All right? Let’s level up your prospection! 🤓
To summarise, we will:
1. Go to your LinkedIn connections page
2. Scrape your LinkedIn connections with Spylead
Option 1. Manual
Option 2. Bulk
3. Use your freshly scraped data
Before starting:
Open LinkedIn, go to your page “My network” and the “Connections” page.
To do that quickly, use our shortcut. Open the Spylead Chrome extension on your toolbar, and click on “My network” to land directly on your LinkedIn connections list.
Remember that it will cost you 1 credit per email found. You’ll get 25 credits free per month if you create a Spylead account, so just join us now and try this tool with me.
Now that you’re on the right page, let’s set up the email finder.
Open the Spylead Chrome Extension and you’ll see your Linkedin connections.
If you don’t see the Spylead extension icon, you must:
There are 2 options to find the emails:
Before finding out the emails, choose where you’d like to save those leads in your Spylead lead management dashboard.
Click on “Select a list” on the bottom left corner of the extension, and choose a list or create a new one. Name it “My LinkedIn connections” to keep your data well organised. ✨
If you don’t select any list, your leads will still be saved on your lead management dashboard under your “All leads” list.
Now, try the simple mode! You can use it to:
Done! Your LinkedIn 1rst connections with associated emails have been sent to the selected list. To access it later, go to app.Spylead.com > “Leads” > “View all lists” > Click on the selected list. Now check your results, you can directly download them as CSV.
Out of the 181 people in my LinkedIn network, only 40 connections have been scraped with the Manual mode. This happened as LinkedIn shows only 40 profiles by default.
To scrape more connections, you can scroll down to reveal more profiles and scrape with the manual mode or use the bulk mode. Let’s see how it works!
First, click on the “Bulk” blue button and let’s set up your bulk.
👉 Name your campaign: give it a relevant name to keep your data organised, like “My LinkedIn connections”
👉 Choose a start lead: from which connection do you want to start the bulk? Type “1” to start from the 1rst lead of page 1.
👉 Choose a lead count: how many connections do you want to scrape? Just scroll down on the search results to see how many pages of results you have. Type this number to scrape all your LinkedIn connections in one go.
Now you’re ready! Click on the “Start Bulk” blue button to launch the scraper.
A new tab will open with your scraping campaign details on the Spylead website. Just wait a few minutes till the results are loaded.
Bravo, your email search went wonderfully well!! 🎉 You just scrape the emails and profile details of your full LinkedIn network! Why not launch an email campaign to convert them?
All your LinkedIn connections have been scraped. Most of them got associated emails, and maybe a few will lack emails.
👉 Save only the relevant ones! To filter this bulk email finder campaign and save only the connections with emails found, add them to the lead list of your choice. Click on the "Move leads" button. Just select the destination list of your choice and click on “Save".
Only connections with emails will be sent to the selected list! Well done! 🎉
Now you probably want to download the results.
Well, that's easy, click on the "Download as CSV" blue button directly from your bulk campaign page. Choose if you want to import only your LinkedIn 1rst connections that have a 100% deliverable email, or your total connections list, even the few ones without 100% deliverable emails.
Now that you have used Spylead to download all your LinkedIn network’s emails and profile data in a CSV file, you can import this contact list into your favourite emailing tool (like Lemlist, or Instantly.ai).
Use all the information associated with each profile (gender, age, position, school...) to create ultra-personalised emails. The more personalised your emails are, the more likely you are to get a reply from your prospect!
